Damn, they sell them in the US?

Love the nice clean and sleek look, none of that cartoony BS Powercolor and Sapphire try to pull.

Yes in fact I was, but that was @1920x1080.
I guess AMD agreed ,I think they have a 6900 series with 1gb comming.

I guess 3gb is for tri-sli with 3 2500x1600 displays. Yikes!

Why, you don't think 2.5gb's would be usefull in surround compared to 1.25gb?😕 It might even help some @ 2500x1600.

I'm debating whether this dethrones the 9800GX2 as my favorite looking card. I think I might like this one better, but I think the GX2 has a look that won't fade in time.

*edit*
That second picture blew it for me. GX2 is #1
 
I've wished many times over the years that Gainward would start a US operation. Their cards are usually top-notch.

I remember drooling over one of their "golden sample" cards many years ago...
 
Palit owns Gainward, its like GM, with a Chevrolet division and Gainward appears to be the Cadillac division.
 
I read it from a Palit representative on a forum. They own groups of manufacturing plants that make other brands cards as well.
Just so happens this is mentioned here in a announcement for this card.

Palit Readies 3 GB GeForce GTX 580 Graphics Card, Too
What happens in Gainward, stays in Palit. Gainward's parent company, Palit, is also readying a GeForce GTX 580 graphics card with 3 GB memory, like its subsidiary. Featuring a non-reference PCB and cooling assembly, Palit's latest card uses twelve 2 Gbit GDDR5 memory chips over a 384-bit wide memory interface to achieve 3072 MB (3 GB) in total. It features a more traditional-looking cooler compared to the Gainward GTX 580 Phantom; which makes use of two fans to cool a large aluminum fin array. Palit's card is clocked at 783 MHz (core), 1566 MHz (CUDA cores), and 1005/4020 MHz (memory actual/effective). Based on the 40 nm GF110 core, the GTX 580 features 512 CUDA cores, and is compliant with the latest in consumer graphics technologies.

Sweet card. I ran out of vram on Crysis at 1920 with Rygel's texture mod and 8X AA in DX9. DX10 almost filled vram with 2X AA. I think 3GB is a bit much though. I'd rather have 2GB. By the time 3GB is needed there will be a new series of cards.
